14 oz (400 g) 96/4 extra-lean ground beef
400 g
9 corn tortillas
234 g
2 tsp chili powder + 1 tsp cumin + ½ tsp smoked paprika + ½ tsp oregano + ¾ tsp salt
12 g
1 small white onion (100 g), minced
100 g
big handful cilantro, chopped
20 g
2 limes, one juiced (30 g), one in wedges
30 g

1¼ cups (100 g) shredded cabbage
100 g
1 Tbsp (15 g) tomato paste
15 g
¼ cup water

Method
- Get a wide skillet very hot and press the beef into one big patty. Leave it 3 minutes to build a serious crust before breaking it up.
- Add the spices, tomato paste, and water; simmer 2–3 minutes until the beef is saucy but not wet. Kill the heat, stir in the lime juice.
- Char the tortillas directly over a burner flame (or in a dry ripping-hot pan) a few seconds per side.
- Stack 3 tacos per person: beef, minced onion, cabbage, cilantro, salsa. Lime wedge on the side, no exceptions.
